      Etymology: "Genus named after Elessar, meaning ‘elf-stone’ in the fictional language Quenya, created by J.R.R. Tolkien. In Tolkien’s Middle Earth universe, Elessar Telcontar is the name chosen by king Aragorn II, who, by his turn, is also known as Strider or ‘longshanks’. The comparatively long zeugopodium of UFSM 11471 makes it a long-shanked animal, justifying the name. Termination -saurus from Greek, meaning ‘lizard’." (op. cit., p. 4).
